range of IPv6 technologies and use cases in order to achieve
certification

MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Array
Networks Inc., a global leader in application delivery networking,
today announced successful participation in the world’s largest IPv6
transition technology test. Conducted by the Chinese Ministry of
Industry and the Telecommunications Research Institute of Tsinghua
University, the test required Array’s APV
Series application delivery controller products to demonstrate
proficiency across a number of critical IPv6 technologies and use cases
in order to obtain certification.

The test invited technology vendors from around the globe to promote
IPv6 adoption and evaluate the state of current IPv6 transition
technologies. The event also provided a reference point for the
transitional government to develop next-generation Internet policy and
gave carriers and enterprises a head start in the selection process for
next-generation IPv6 solutions. As a leading proponent of IPv6
technology and as the first vendor in China to obtain IPv6-ready
certification for government agencies, enterprises, carriers and
Internet service, Array Networks demonstrated the role of application
delivery networking in enabling a smooth transition to IPv6.

The test was by far the world's largest and most comprehensive IPv6
transition technology evaluation event, demonstrating IPv6
interoperability end-to-end from the data center to the client. As a
test participant, Array application delivery controllers provided
complete DS-Lite and NAT64 technical support in order to enable smooth
transition between IPv6 and IPv4. In the process, Array won the
unanimous endorsement of participating experts.

Although organizations around the world are accelerating their
deployment of IPv6, IPv6 transition technologies span a wide range of
complex use cases and the way forward is not always clear. A lack of
standardized testing makes it difficult to verify the characteristics
and advantages of various transition technologies and difficult to
settle on an IPv6 transition roadmap.

"The number of enterprises concerned about the transition to IPv6
increases the importance of tests such as those recently conducted by
the Chinese Ministry of Industry and the Telecommunications Research
Institute of Tsinghua University,” said Michael Zhao, president and CEO
of Array Networks. “Array’s successful participation in this recent test
is another example of our commitment to building consensus and
instilling confidence during the transition to IPv6. Our technology has
once again demonstrated its technical strength and its ability to solve
more complex IPv6 Phase 2 use cases.”

Array APV Series application delivery controllers support
interoperability with pure IPv4 and IPv6 networks as well as hybrid
IPv46 networks. For both pure and hybrid environments, Array supports a
powerful application delivery feature set including server load
balancing, global load balancing, link load balancing, as well as a
variety of different health inspection methods to provide the highest
possible level of network performance and availability.
